This is the new poster for Hamlet 2, a comedy from Sundance for which I posted the trailer a couple weeks ago. The poster, as you can see, shows Steve Coogan changing into his Jesus outfit in his high school rest-dressing room along with the tagline “One high school drama teacher is about to make a huge number 2.”

It’s a lot more clever than if this were a Dane Cook movie, in which case it would probably just show him on the toilet with the tagline, “Love Shits.”

pfffft. David Arquette is in this? no wonder there’s shit imagery included on the poster.also: they should’ve called it HAMLET 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOOin fact, everything with ‘2’ at the end o’ the title should be followed by ‘…Electric Boogaloo".

I always wondered why Denny’s had a "Moons Over My Hammy" but never a "Hamlette"Perhaps they don’t want to remind their loyal customer base about a play that speaks negatively about incestuous undertones.

Why would Hamlet 2 have Jesus in it? Is it a prequel?

Why would Hamlet 2 have Jesus in it?For the same reason that my Merchant of Venice 2: Death Dealer takes place in Prague.

A Merchant of Venice 2: The Credit Crunch (all the characters are CGI Dionsaurs). The poster can have the baddie dinosaur (T-Rex, of course) taking a bite out of the ‘H’ in Crunch!!!

True story: Gary Busey once auditioned for a part in a Hamlet production, but he kept shouting "Out, damned spot!!!!" When the director advised him that this line was actually from Macbeth, Busey responded: "What the fuck are you talking about? I mean this spot on my tunic! It won’t come out! I’ve tried everything."

I always wondered why Denny’s had a "Moons Over My Hammy" but never a "Hamlette"Burger King sells a Hamlette on their breakfast value menu. One of those and a cup of their BK Joe and you will definitely be in the mind for a Number 2.

He’s in there trying to answer the age-old question, can God make a shit so large that even Uwe Boll couldn’t direct it?

Stinky, I couldn’t pull the trigger on the BK Hamlette joke, I am glad you were stupid man enough to do it.

I guess I always thought that maybe Jesus wouldn’t have to shit. I figured that when he felt the pressure, he’d just give himself a "High and Mighty High Colonic" and presto! No more ass contractions.

If this play doesn’t have dinosaurs (under da earff) for Jesus to ride in on, the New Earffers are going to be writing angry letters. Shit just got real.

if Jesus could turn water into wine, then it stands to reason that he wouldn’t need to poop… he’d just turn it into something else… like delicious Baby Ruth candy bars.

05.01.08 at 10:33 am

Marcus Halberstram

if that’s supposed t’be Steve Coogan on the toilet, why does he have pictures of himself on the floor in there with him??? If it was me, there’d be a slightly very-worn copy of Barely Legal.

if Jesus could turn water into wine, then it stands to reason that he wouldn’t need to poop… he’d just turn it into something else… like delicious Baby Ruth candy bars. Physical metamorphosis clearly wasn’t his strong suit, or else he’d have turned those hammers and nails into party hats and balloons.

This guy wrote another script, but instead of Jesus bringing the dead characters back he has Leonardo DaVinci reanimate them Robocop-style. He called that one Romeo & Juliet 2: Electric Montague

If they’re going to write bathroom humor on the stalls for this poster, I’m a little disappointed that nobody thought of "Beware the tides of March"

This is the top review of this flick on IMDB:OK where do I start? This has got to be one of the worst movies I ever have seen my entire lifetime. Sorry but movie shouldn’t earned (1)Star. I have no idea how this even left the shelf. I was curious who even wrote this screenplay – Pam Brady- by looking at this resume, I am definitely will not be seeing Dallas and by looking at previous history – I now know how horrible it is. There was nothing funny in this movie but David Arquette. Steve Coogan, this definitely will damage your career, by this you acted like you had never been in a drama class ever in your life. I really don’t know where else to start- I walked out of this movie, I really don’t want to know how it ended "OR" cared. This was a total waste of my time. The Moguls was my worst movie but this HAMLET 2 sure is up on my TOP of worst all time horrible movies. Definitely RAZZIES are coming your way. Catherine Keener – what happened with you on this? OMG you are a really good actress. Horrible acting in this movie all around. This movie will definitely will NOT make any money whatsoever. Total waste of time. No wonder there is no trailers at all on this movie or any kind of advertisement whatsoever.
